Anita, read Laili

Majnun wrote Laili a love letter,

That ran to several pages,

That contained only one word Laili.

Were it only Laili? More than that,

That she knew, his passion and love.

I wrote you several verses,

That ran for several months and years.

They had passion, love, anguish, agony,

Pang, pining, adulation, and slavery.

For Laili, one word had been enough.

For you, were not they enough?
